| Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. === Ferro-cement ts a cement mortar with a high relative volume of well
dispersed steel wire reinforcement. The material properties of ferrocement
are neither those of the mortar alone nor of the reinforcement
and vary as the mortar and reinforcement configurations are changed.
In this study, several variations of ferro-cement were fabricated and
subjected to constant amplitude cyclic loads up to ten million cycles.
Stress versus cycles-to-failure plots were developed and comparisons
between the data for various ferro-cement modifications were made.
Monotonic tests were conducted on the ferro-cement to allow comparisons
with work conducted by other experimenters. An investigation of the
fracture surface was conducted using a scanning electron microscope. |
